  • Upcoming Talks:​​​​

  • Enos Mills: Chasing a Dream for Colorado-April 22 5:30pm - 7:00 pm

    • As a sickly boy not expected to live to adulthood, Enos Mills (1870-1922) seemed most unlikely to become a legendary mountaineer. Yet his 1884 arrival in Colorado at age 14 was the start of an abiding reverence for nature. Five years later, a chance encounter would inspire him to wonder: could he do for the Rocky Mountains what Muir did for Yosemite? Take a journey through this first-person narrative inspired by adventurous times when grizzlies still roamed Colorado and a national park was an elusive dream. Come celebrate the 155th birthday of Enos Mills the day of the program.

    • History-storyteller Kurtis Kelly has performed throughout the Front Range as Enos Mills and many other notable Colorado figures. A resident of Estes Park, Kelly knows the park.

    • MAP SHOW: Members are encouraged to bring their own map of Rocky Mountain National Park, new or old, to be set out around the room for viewing.
